Zelenskyy: "Today, we received updated intelligence on Russia’s preparations for a massive strike. We are preparing countermeasures. We set deadlines for a significant part of the tasks, and the highest-priority ones are already being implemented."
I held a coordination call with government officials, the military, and all key services. First, the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Air Force reported on the deployment of air defense assets and the establishment of defense lines to protect designated key facilities. We are securing the necessary munitions for F-16s, interception systems, and interceptor missiles. The biggest challenge is with anti-ballistic capabilities, and the availability of these supplies depends entirely on our partners. We are working with them every day. Second, over the past day, the Russians attacked several Ukrainian hospitals – in Kramatorsk and Kryvyi Rih. Our services responded, and it is important that in every region, there is a rapid response from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine to every such situation. Thank you for your professional work! Third, government officials, together with representatives of regional authorities, have prepared additional logistics solutions in response to Russia’s operation against Ukrainian logistics. Today, we received updated intelligence on Russia’s preparations for a massive strike. We are preparing countermeasures. We set deadlines for a significant part of the tasks, and the highest-priority ones are already being implemented. Thank you to everyone who is defending our country and our people!
